Pirates Road Trip: 4/25 - 4/30

MLB is reverting back to the old catch rule meaning a transfer is no longer necessary to complete the catch. It hasn't really affected the Pirates but I'm glad they changed it back even if changing rules in the middle of the season is odd.

Geez give the kid a break. Kyle McPherson suffered a broken bone in his right elbow while recovering from TJ surgery and will not pitch this season though he should be good to go for Spring Training next year.

Agreed. Even though he's only been here for a short time, Ike has certainly been worth Thornton and hopefully he produces enough to justify the PTBNL. When both of them can start to produce consistently and really get in the groove of facing only their "specialties," that should be a position that produces

For goodness sakes we can't even do callups right. MLB nixed the Hughes recall as he was on the active roster for when this move is effective (4/21). Pirates are an arm short tonight and Hughes can't be recalled so I guess Welker's up tomorrow.
